All I have left is the memories.

All I have left is the memories.

A Poem by Yuzuki Cross

Spent a few days thinkin'
About how my family's been shrinkin'
Left and right they leave me
Back and forth they see me
But don't believe in me.

They don't stop to think that maybe, Hey,
I don't have to be like my father
Who walked out on his only daughter
But they don't know
How far I'd go...

To keep the last of us together
Keep us out of the stormy weather.
If I had the money and the time,
It'd be all for them, down to the last dime.

And my mom, she's so far gone
I'm heading her way, cause I won't be left alone
Momma, can't you hear me?
Momma, do you believe in me?
I'll save you mom, I know I can.
Just please don't leave, just take my hand!

And dad, 
You're the second one I've had.
You taught me life ain't all about s***s and giggles,
Even taught me how to solve the greatest of riddles.
But later after beer after beer
You left the life you held so dear...
You don't trust me, you think I'm just dirt.
To hear these words from you, it truly hurts.

Cause you stepped in, when bio daddy wouldn't!
You fed me food when mommy couldn't!
But please, you're pushing the world away!
Keep your sanity, daddy, don't let them take me away!
Cause this family isn't perfect

And I feel like I'm the wheel trying to work it...
And my brother and sister, caught in the middle.
Suffering, little by little
I couldn't bear to leave them alone.
Because then where would be home?

Mommy and daddy have grown apart
Divorce, truly a break of hearts.
Guilt tears me open wide,
The bullet shots outside.
I'm scared and my heart's just racing.
But I'm back in my room, pacing.

All I have left is the memories.
